Kiwi Lane May Blog Hop



Today, I welcome you to the Kiwi Lane May Blog Hop!  You should have come from Christine's blog. If you didn't you can start at the beginning: Kiwi Lane's blog

For those of you not familiar with Kiwi Lane they are makers of these awesome Designer templates !  I was privileged enough to have received the Tiny Bracket Set to play with!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!  I can't get enough!

Here is my project for the hop:


I just love how the tiny templates create a great space for sentiments!  I have used The Paper Loft's Island Sun collection papers and an Inkadinkado clear hummingbird stamp with Colorbox metallic ink in silk green.  The sentiment is from The Stamp Doctor.  I tied the bow with my Craft Dee Bowz tool and ribbon from my stash.  I used a Sizzix die cut to cut the flower with some Recollections bling in the center. 

I made a couple of cards, here is another on a blue card base:  


Close up of the flower:


Here's another card with the same flower and layered pieces cut with tiny bracket set designer templates from Kiwi Lane:


I wasn't quite as happy with this one.  I will try it again with another layer of cuts.  I used a Sizzix mover and shaper card to create the card of white cardstock.
I used more Paper Loft paper cut with a Kiwi Lane template on the inside.
Stampin Up sentiment from Sassy Salutations and Mix'd Media Vintage ink embossed with Wow clear embossing powder.  


Here's the Kiwi Lane tiny accessory set: tiny brackets that I have been using:



I have also already used these brackets in a few other projects, here are the previous posts:
